Data Protection
Data Protection is an increasingly pervasive issue, spanning every commercial sector and legal discipline. Consequently, our data protection specialists are drawn from our Media, Litigation, Employment, IT and Corporate departments.
Personal data is the key asset of almost all customer-facing businesses and it must be used in a way that is compliant with data protection legislation - not just to avoid the risk of sanctions but also to preserve commercial value. A breach of the Data Protection Act 1998 can have serious commercial consequences.
Our Group has advised leading businesses on all aspects of data protection, and on the acquisition, exploitation and protection of personal data. We provide pragmatic risk-based advice and practical solutions which support our clients'' commercial objectives.
Data protection issues arise in a wide range of commercial deals - from mergers and acquisitions through to outsourcing arrangements. Increasingly, these issues need to be considered from an international perspective and we regularly advise on pan-European issues using our network of alliance partners. It is a complex field, and one where our practical experience and up-to-date knowledge of enforcement policy can add real value.
